Avanti - great map, clueless players

[Tui]

What is it about Avanti that confuses players? All you have to do is count to 4. First is Capture Point 1 (funny that), so why do half the defence stay at 2? Same players then stay at 3 when 2 is the next capture.
Attack get 10 points per cap, but do players realise defence get 2 points every 30 seconds the flag is loose. Like f**k they do. Some player always seems to get the flag, runs around like a headless chook for a few minutes, loses the flag and not tell anyone where it is.
And snipers on the attack side - don't get me started about snipers.

It sometimes helps if you spell it out in basic terms.
e.g. Its like Dustbowl, one team attacks, the other defends

Then add something like, "Attack you muppets!!"

I honestly believe a large number of people are running around looking for the enemy base, the lack of 2 symmetrical fortresses with a bit of ground inbetween, confuses them.

the reason that most of the defence stays at cp 2 is because half of the time, some attacking muppet decides that 1 is not important and takes the flag to 2 first.

also, if i hear "why's it gone black" one more time, i swear i will scream (well, mibbie not, but i *will* mutter a bit)
